McLEAN, Va. — Two McLean homeowners face criminal charges after a party they organized for their teenage child involved underage drinking, fireworks and disorderly conduct, Fairfax County police said.
Lisa Vaughan, 45, and Aubrey Vaughan, 55, were each charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and maintaining a common nuisance, according to the Fairfax County Police Department. Both turned themselves in at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center and were released on $1,000 unsecured bonds each.
Officers from the McLean District Station went to the 1400 block of Woodacre Drive about 9:03 p.m. Nov. 6 after several 911 callers reported a party that had gotten out of control. Callers estimated that 100 to 300 people were at the home.
When officers arrived, they found a large crowd and fireworks going off, police said. They worked to restore order and safely disperse the gathering.
Police said investigators determined that the homeowners had arranged the party for their teenage child. Officers then obtained warrants charging both Vaughans.
In announcing the charges Nov. 12, the department urged parents and homeowners to supervise gatherings involving minors and take steps to prevent underage drinking. Police also encouraged residents to call when concerns arise or a gathering starts to get out of hand.
